FOR
A SHORT TIME ONLY

0ZUU RANCHO CANADA De Los
ALlSOS, cosisting of fiat, rolling and mesa
lands. The soil is of an even, rich sandy
loan, free from alkali and sand and suitable
alike for the culture of fruit, vines and all
cereals. II is watered by numerous springs
and streams, which, like all California wat
ers, come to the surface in different portions
of the ranch, and which offer splendid oppor-
tunities for the storage of winter water at
slight expense.
No section in Southern California offers a
chance for town site equal to this. 1t has
two guaranteed stations upon the line of the
A. T. d $. F. X. r. to San Dieo, which is al
ready graded through the ranch at the center
of the town Site The Southern Pacific has
also laid out their line to San Diego along the
lower end, on the old San Diego road. The
town site is elevated above the surrounding
valley some 800 feet, and presents magnifi-
cent panorama of the Santa Ana and San
Juan valleys, the ocean and the beautiful
Santiago mountains, rising but few miles
away along the northern boundary. 1t is a
spot most fitting for a colony, lying just ten
miles from Santa Ana, fifteen miles from
San Juan-by-the-Sea, eight miles from the
Laguna and Arch beach, and the same dis
tance from Newport and ocean transpOrta-
ton. The mountain ranges in the rear shut
OFF the hot desert winds coming down the
Santa Ana canon, and defects them towards
the north and west. The elevation secures
immunity from the fOgs and frosts of the
lower lying and adjacent valleys. 1t is well
timbered with oak sycamore, cottonwood,
willow and elder trees: Water from wells
can be obtained anywhere on the ranch at
depths of from to 40 feet. At the old adobe
ranch house is vineyard over 80 years old
still bearing, and an orchard of fruit and
olive trees, some of them two feet in diane
ter, grown and still In bearing without irri-
cation. Some distance from the ranch house
lies the famous Sancal Grove and picnic
grounds, which, with its magnificent trees,
Is the finest in Southern California. At one
or two places on the ranch are indications of
coal ni1 and lime The cppbrafpQ actress.
Madame Mojeska, whose summer house adj
joins this property, prOnOunces its views and
climate to be unsurpassed in all Southern
California, and predicts for ii future like
that of Pasadena.

Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1887-05-10

Nearly all Of these designs are accompanied
by letters Some are addressed to President
Jefferson Davis, some to Alexander II, Ste
phens, some to Robert Toombs ami great
many to William Porcher Miles, who vas the
chairman Of the committee on aaga All Of
the letters are full Of feeling and all glow
with loyalty to the new government
Some are written by ladies, and not a few Of
the designs are furnished by them The Ia.
dies letters are the most earnest ami enthusi-
astic. One Georgia woman says she designed
the flag which she sends herself and that sh,.
hopes the Confederacy twill secede peace
ably, but whether peacably or not, 1t will
secede." A South Carolina mother pathet
ically says, dating her letter Feb. 10, 1851,
that she has given three dear boys to her
country, and hopes tile young republic vii,
honor the memory Of Washington by dating
its organization from the 22d Of February
and calling it the Washington republic. She
writes just as she hears the news that Mr..
Davis has been elected president, and she
closes her letter by saying that the southern
Confetieracy has the sympathies Of every
southern woman-wife, mother and maid
and that she glories in being Q woman Of IL:
south
Other letters propose that the new govern
Tn-sit lie called Alleghenia, and tho great ma
lority OF designs are modelled after the flag o.
the union There was a very strong desire
among the southern people to keep as muci
as possible Of the old flag, and this desire i
seen ~ most OF the letters. One letter, which
Is dated Washington, Feb. 20, 1861, beseeches
the committee by all that is sacred to stick t,
the stars and stripes. 1t says: "You hav,
fought we'll under our glorious banner.

Another letter beSs that the stars AID stripe.

Two hours afterward the la,lies of Mont
Somery had made the first Confederate flag.
1t was OF merino, and was run up over the
state house at Montgomery and loudly
cheercd. The stars and bars were not. how
ever, success as q battle flag. Gen. Joe
Johnston tells me that it was too much like
the stars and stripes, aud that the two coul,i
not I've distinguished from each other in the
hghtin2. Gen. Bcauregard says that after
the hattle OF Bull Run many persons of
both armies thought that the other
siie had put up tho enemies flag a,
decoy, and after this Johnston and Beanre
gard decided to adopt a new LATHE flag.
Johnston at first wanted each regiment to

ticablc and another flag was chosen, ami in
this think Gen. Joe Johnston had something
with the invention Of the design. The design
rs settled upon Icy him and Beaureyard be-
cnme the battle flag of the Confederacv. and
II was afttrward adopted as such by the Con-
felerate congress at Richmond
This flag is known as the southern cross
IL ha. rcd field, with two wide Llue bars
running liagonally from one corner To The
other, and on these bars were white or gold
stars equal in number to the states of the Con.
1eicraiy. This WAS really the flag Of the
Cohfeieracy. and IL has more right to tho
name than the stars and bars A design SIM

The design is large enough TO cover a good
sized library table. IL is made Of heavy
drawing paper and is done in crayou. One
part of the ground is blue ami the other part
dirty yellow. On the broad blue part.
which Is supposed TO be attached to the pole,
a big black eye is painted, and around this,
in the shape OF q crescent, which faces the
front Of the flag, are seven white stars. From
the eye eight white stripes go outward, run.
ming from the blue into the yellow and there
losing themselves. The letter which was
sent with this design is well written. It il
dated Feb. %, 1861, and it is addressed to
"Gen. jefferson Davis" The first paragraph
prnys for the prosperity of tire Confederacy
and the remainder Of the letter is taken up
with the description Of the flag. 1t reads:

right angles. !

This southern cross is found i'm many of tn.
designs, and it ranks with the palmetto tree
and the lone star as a prominent figure
Some OF the ladies' designs are very curious,
and some are made OF different coors of silk
and satin neatly stitched together and with
little stars sewei upon them. In some
cases the designers had not the paints to work
with, and they have made their designs of
different pieces OF colored paper cut into
shape and pasted together. Here the rel,
white and blue predominates, ami the stripes
and stars in nearly every case permit the adj.
dition OF new emblems for the new states as
they came in. One Of the ladies' flags b
eighteen inches long, and it consists of three
series OF two stripes of red, white AMI red
above and below a broad stripe Of blue. upor
which are sewesl seven white stars Thes
seven stars represented tho seven states which
had already seeded.
Some OF the designs are very grotesaue, am;
coming as they do from all classes of people,

should tramp very closely upon the heels OF
the ridiculous. l give you here a pictsre in

In The above do not give the full name,
as the writer may he living, and l also
suppress the name of the noted southern
woman who sent the following letter to
Jefferson Davis in the latter part Of Feb
ruary, 1861. Tho letter is well written, ana
as copy it can appreciate the thrill that
went through the enthusiastic writer wlEp
she wrote the words:

The women OF the southern Conf .leracy
were rs strong in the support OF the govern
ment as the men. They contributed I. it by
every form Of self sacrifice, and the tales of
their heroism would make a fortune for a
skillful novelist.
From these designs and hundreds of others
the committee finally made a repor: for a
hi'g. This report was read on the 9Th of
March, 1861, and after long preamble it
stated that the flag Of the Confederate States
OF America should consist of red field with
white space running horizontal to the CEN
ter eiaal to one third the width Of the flag.
The union was to be blue and was to cs.,rl
through the upper red stripe and white stripe,

read four designs OF this fag made Of cotton

walls Of the convention Mt Montgomery. The
convention adopted them, AMI thus the stars
